Vernon Wells hit a solo homer in the first inning and ended up 4-for-5 with four runs scored and three RBIs. It was part of a 15-hit attack, which was plenty for ace Roy Halladay, who allowed three runs on five hits over eight innings with 10 strikeouts.

Mike Lowell hit a solo homer in the fourth inning to bring the Red Sox within a run, but Boston got no closer. Julian Tavarez gave up six runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings. The Sox also committed four errors, allowing four unearned runs.
